I am thankful for all the many wonderful people I have in my life, that help me through each day, listen to me, that are goofy with me, that love me for me.

My roommate made these the other day, and I can’t tell you how delicious they are! It’s a new twist on granola bars that everybody will be sure to love (I know I do!)

Granola Snack Bars

Ingredients
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 cups miniature marshmallows (i’d suggest using a 1/2 cup more)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup whole flax seeds
1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit chopped up
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds, shelled
1/2 cup unsweetened fine coconut
(You can also add a bit of almond extract for a delicious added flavor!)

Directions
1. In a large saucepan, over low heat, melt butter
2. Add marshmallows, cook, stirring constantly until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in oats, graham crumbs, flax seed, raisins, sunflower seeds and coconut until thoroughly coated
4. Press into a greased 9×13 pain with greased fingers
5. Let cool. Cut.

MRI results came in …

I have:
Degenerative Disc Disease
Slight Scoliosis
And 3 different discs that are bulging in my back pushing against my nerves.

And the doctors assistant won’t be back for 2 weeks so I have to wait until then to get the next step of action.

Where is dad when I need him?

Do you ever go through those times where you feel like you are in a rut, and you can’t get out?

When you are feeling down for some reason, but can’t figure out what is bothering you or why it is bothering you?

I’m feeling it. And I don’t want to be.

Other news:
-MRI on Tuesday for my back (I hope they can figure out what is wrong with me)
- If you are trying to reach me via cell phone, my phone is dying, and won’t charge unless I sit with the phone and charger in my hand, so most likely my phone won’t be charged.
- I am applying for the Huntsman Cancer Institute for my Internship. I hear it’s a pretty hard one. uh oh. Wish me luck!!!!!!

Does it ever seem like when it rains in your life, it pours?

I’m trying to see the sun behind the clouds.
